JustRite Mega Blog Hop - Day 3

Good Morning everyone!! Welcome to Day Three of the JustRite Blog Hop. I hope everyone had a chance to view and leave comments on the previous 2 days. If not you still have time to go back and check them out. Be sure to leave comments to have a chance at some awesome blog candy!!!

If you are arriving here from Tammy Hershberger's blog, then you are right on track. Once you check out my post (and leave me a comment **hint**) then your next stop is going to be Heidi Van Laar.

My card today uses one of the beautiful images from the "Plant A Little Love" borders & centers set. The images in this set are amazing!!! I stamped the image onto ivory cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with Copic Markers, and diecut using Spellbinders Labels Eight, die #4. I chose to diecut my image off center so that I would have room for my sentiment.

For my sentiment, I chose a center from the "Just A Note" centers & borders set. I stamped it onto ivory cardstock using Memento Rich Cocoa, diecut using Spellbinders Labels One, die #1, and chalked the edges with green chalk. Then the sentiment is applied to the side of my flowers using popdots. My butterfly was made using the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch.

Now when it came time to find ribbon to add to the bottom of my card, do you think I could find some that would match my colors?? Of course not!!! So what did I do - I grabbed my Copic Markers and colored the white ribbon - pink. Now there is no excuse for not using ribbon.

Okay, now on to the "important" part of this post. The blog candy details!!!!!

30 designers, FIVE shopping sprees each day. No one knows where the prizes will be! Each day of the hop JustRite will have five Mystery Blog Candy Prizes hidden along the hop with a total retail value of $600.

StatCounter

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am currently working as a freelance designer in some capacity for JustRite Papercraft. While I am compensated by them in some form, I maintain the freedom as an independent designer to say what I truly think of their products. I will never recommend something that I don't personally use and enjoy

About Me

I live in the beautiful western mountains of Maine. I have been married to my wonderful husband Mike for 18 years. We have two daughters – Heather, 26 and Emily,15 and now we have a beautiful granddaughter named Skylar. I have always done some form of crafting thanks to the inspiration of my mom and grandmother. I began scrapbooking shortly after my youngest daughter was born. I am a scrapbooker at heart but after I was introduced to stamping and JustRite Stamps in 2008, I was transformed into a card maker as well! I love taking a simple piece of paper and transforming it into a work of art.
